Nope. If I see a single one of you supporting the Under15 group/show whatever the fuck it is, you’re getting called out and blocked if you double down. What the FUCK do you mean they’re auditioning 8 year olds for DEBUT!?

So this is a show called Under 15 and the age range for “contestants” is apparently THREE TO FIFTEEN.
That is unacceptable. Disturbing.
The people making this, watching this, and allowing their children to be on this should all be arrested. pic.twitter.com/LnvayXaf6q

If that wasn’t enough, it led to a discussion about some of the video promotions. Ahead of the show’s premiere, there was a more detailed video showing the contestants.
In particular, some screenshots from the video and other content to promote the show were shared on theqoo.
Netizens couldn’t hide their disgust.

- “What’s with the outfit;;”
- “Stop this nonsense, seriously.”
- “Are they out of their minds?”
- “What the hell is going on????”
- “What even is this outfit?”
